“…Some tests were carried out to define the grain size distribution and physical properties of the soil, e.g., plastic limit, liquid limit, and specific weight. (al-Qaṣabī 1993) argued that understanding the nature and composition of the soil relies on identifying grain size distribution, which includes grain diameters and the proportion of each class. Soil texture plays a role, which depends on the fineness of grains and water proportion.…”

In Excavation Season XIV in 2017 at Qurh by the Department of Archaeology, College of Tourism and Archaeology, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, a rare gold dinar was found, minted in Egypt in 364 A.H. (975 A.D.) by Al-Mu‘izz li-Din Allah. The dinar was discovered in square C17, area 3, Qurh (Almabiat) site. It was numbered 27 in the archaeological registry. Square C17 is an architectural extension of the excavation squares C18, C19, C20, D17, D18, D19, and D20. The dinar is the first discovered gold coin in the excavation seasons that began in 2005 at the site. The findings of Qurh are varied in terms of material, manufacturing technology, and provenance. Thus, they include local and imported artifacts. Examining the gold dinar showed a thick layer of dust and calcifications on the surface. The present study tackles the scientific method of examining the gold dinar, diagnosis of deterioration products and causes, stages of restoration and conservation, and analysis of the inscriptions on the reverse and obverse after restoration.

“…7,8 Despite many of these advancements, dogmatic approaches to these injuries endured, and diversion remained the standard practice for the next 40 to 50 years before the reemergence of primary repair, when feasible, as the treatment of choice. [9][10][11][12][13] Outcomes in the civilian sector during this period also demonstrated steady improvement: There were additional advances not only in surgical technique, such as a shift from watchful waiting early on to exploration and diversion, as well as experience in understanding methods of repair, but also in understanding, monitoring, and managing the accompanying physiologic changes in the injured patient. Wartime series were slower to mimic the civilian trauma experience, despite evidence that not all colon injuries required a colostomy, with equivalent morbidity and mortality rates following primary repair.…”

The authors discuss the evolution of the evaluation and management of colonic trauma, as well as the debate regarding primary repair versus fecal diversion. Their evidence-based review covers diagnosis, management, surgical approaches, and perioperative care of patients with colon-related trauma. The management of traumatic colon injuries has evolved significantly over the past 50 years; here the authors describe a practical approach to the treatment and management of traumatic injuries to the colon based on the most current research. However, management of traumatic colon injuries remains a challenge and continues to be associated with significant morbidity. Familiarity with the different methods to the approach and management of colonic injuries will allow surgeons to minimize unnecessary complications and mortality.
